What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
SVN rev 3173 on Mac OS X 10.5.6
Please provide any additional information below.
This is due to a problem with FileSearch, and the GetPluginsDirectory() in
FileUtil.
On APPLE builds, it does not append a '/' to the end of the plugin
directory. When the defaults are set, there is no separator placed between
the plugin dir and the plugin names. FileSearch automatically puts a slash
between the search dir (in this case, the plugin dir) and the found files.
When actually using the plugins, this file names don't match up, so the
PluginInfo's aren't found (the filenames don't match).
I've attached a diff with the changes I've made to fix the issue.

That and you can ignore the CFURL.h change. For some reason, on my mac, the
CoreFoundation.framework/headers directory has CFURL.h instead of CFUrl.h. I'm
surprised that other people don't have that problem, since CFURL.h is what's
discribed in the developer docs at apples website
(http://developer.apple.com/documentation/CoreFoundation/Reference/CFURLRef/Reference/reference.html).

What do I do ones I've downloaded the file??
Updated by peter.schwarz over 15 years ago
It's not a proper diff, just a diff between svn head and my repository. You can make
the code changes to your own source tree to correct the problem.

Thanks for the quick respont, but I still do't understand what I should do...
I followed the steps from the mac osx build.
What do I do with the tekst then, do I copy it somewhere??
Thanks alot

The text has the lines of code in the files that need to be corrected. If you make
the changes in the files (FileUtil.cpp and FileSearch.cpp) in the source line numbers
given, and then re-compile, that should do it.
I was really posted that file in hopes that one of the developers would pick it up
and put it into the source tree.

I'm surprised nobody had these issues before...
Also, i'm sure Sonicadvance, didn't have this problem as he ran some games on OSX
already, though there were some issues with OpenGL anyway.

I disagree that it works in all instances. I'm not sure why, but I have to apply the
code changes that I've attached (one of which is just a good change - FileSearch is
flawed regardless of OS). Sounds like a few other people are having this issue as well.

really trange, can you try to launch GUI version to configure the plugins in
dolphin.ini ?
Updated by peter.schwarz over 15 years ago
That's the one I started with. It would leave off a '/' between the directory and
the lib names. So I'd correct that in the ini file, and then it couldn't match the
name of the lib to the actually file name on the file system.
Again, just take a look at the fix to FileSearch. It is a generic fix that makes it
correctly label the directory with the right slashes.

Thanks a million. It took me a while to figure out how to read your changes, but it allowed me to actually
compile and run dolphin on my iMac. I've attached my changed files for anyone who's not so code-savvy, or who
just wants to save some time. I hope that's ok.
Both files reside in the /dolphin-emu-read-only/Source/Core/Common/Src/ folder
